So I got myself 2×8GB 3733MHz sticks and my ASUS MAXIMUS VIII RANGER just cannot get them to work properly. I always got a debug code 55.
I have it paired with an i7-7700K
First thing I tried of course was the XMP profile - didn't work, so I'm pissed as I knew this is gonna be a long day.
So I tried:
- Different memory multipliers. The highest I could go was RAM going on preset 3466MHz.
- Push the voltage and timings up and go there with BCLK overclocking. Whatever I did, change of different voltages, clocks, I was always stuck at about 3500MHz.
- Older BIOSes, the older one that is claiming "Improved DRAM XMP compatibility over 4200MHz." and others.
- Have just one stick installed in different slots.
The ONLY config I could get 3733MHz to work was in slot second closest to the CPU with just one stick single channel installed (both sticks were able to load the XMP profile there), slot 1/3/4 was getting that above debug code 55 or sometimes 49 looping with 01 or 03 codes.
I got a headache already, has anyone some ideas what could get my expensive sticks get the work on its intended clocks?
Thank you
